I Can See Through All Things' Information Chapter 1293 - 790:

"I'm curious just how much stronger my brother's strength will become once he passes this Primordial Spirit Tribulation."

Little Yan thought back to the moment when Lu Qing cleaved Zhou Tian City apart with one sword strike.

At that time, her brother had already shown such overwhelming might, and with two Primordial Spirit Tribulations now overcome, his strength was bound to surge even further.

Reflecting on her own growth, over these years in isolation, while her advancement wasn't as dramatic as her brother's,

thanks to the incredibly dense spiritual charm surrounding her, she managed a small leap forward and had advanced to the Golden Core Eighth Turn stage.

The path to Golden Core Ninth Turn no longer seemed so distant.

Little Yan at last grasped why spiritual beasts like Little Li and the Five Elements could outpace her, a member of the Human Race, in cultivation speed.

The Heavenly Origin Great World's cultivation conditions were simply outstanding, with spiritual energy overflowing in abundance.

She even sensed that her cultivation base rose steadily each day, even without deliberate practice, just through the natural flow of her cultivation technique.

Bang!

With yet another dull thud, fresh transformations unfolded around Lu Qing.

All the elements around him—be it deathly Qi, Tribulation Qi, or the thunderous lights of the Laws—formed a swirling vortex that he fully drew into himself.

Once tranquility returned, the immense heavenly pressure looming over Lu Qing shifted abruptly, unleashing a vast torrent of energy from the boundless void that engulfed him entirely.

In the same way, Lu Qing embraced it all, channeling his cultivation technique to take it in and convert it into his core foundation and reserves.

"Ah Qing has triumphed over the tribulation."

Witnessing this well-known sight, Little Li announced right away.

With the final wisp of unusual energy taken in and purified, Lu Qing gradually lifted his eyelids.

At once, Little Yan and the rest trembled involuntarily.

It seemed like Lu Qing's gaze held the infinite secrets of the cosmos, tugging at their souls and minds.

Luckily, this effect lasted only an instant before Lu Qing suppressed it, allowing everyone to snap back to focus.

Lu Qing remained unaware of the odd reaction from Little Yan and the others; fresh from his tribulation success, he directed his mind and soul toward the shifts inside his form.

In particular, toward the Yin Yang Five Element Gourd, his Lifebound Magical Treasure.

Entering the Eight Tribulations realm naturally boosted his strength by a wide margin.

Yet the alteration in the Yin Yang Five Element Gourd caught Lu Qing off guard the most.

Through these pair of Primordial Spirit Tribulations, the gourd had absorbed and refined yet another huge quantity of Tribulation Qi.

At present, deep inside it, a core pulsing with tribulation aura was forming, hinting that something was on the verge of breaking free.

Lu Qing perceived that when this essence fully matured, the Yin Yang Five Element Gourd would be set to evolve into a high-grade Spirit Artifact.

"From the looks of it, by the time I face the Ninth Tribulation, the Yin Yang Five Element Gourd should be close to its transformation."

Sensing the presence inside the gourd, Lu Qing gained a clear hunch.

Excitement began to build in him.

Though both qualify as magical treasures, the gap between a Lifebound Magical Treasure and one nurtured and wielded by conventional methods is enormous.

Linked directly to the cultivator's vital essence, a Lifebound Magical Treasure unleashes might far beyond that of a standard magical treasure.

In the grasp of a mighty figure like Lu Qing, an upper-level Spiritual Artifact as a Lifebound Treasure could match even top-grade Spiritual Artifacts.

Apart from raw strength, Lu Qing prized the gourd's future prospects even higher.

Drawing from the Immortal Palace's ancient artifact-forging lore, Lu Qing realized elevating a Spiritual Artifact to Dao Artifact status was incredibly challenging.

More arduous than attaining Unity Realm.

Still, in the Yin Yang Five Element Gourd, he glimpsed a spark of that potential.

Should this Lifebound Treasure keep evolving, it might well grant him a Dao Artifact-grade Lifebound Treasure by the time he hits Unity Realm.

A deep yearning for Dao Artifacts burned in Lu Qing.

Consider the Void Flying Boat: as merely one of the one hundred eight auxiliary vessels from the Immortal Flying Boat Dao Artifact, and still incomplete in its recovery, its void-crossing prowess already defies Unity Realm powerhouses.

Picture the might of a fully realized Dao Artifact.

To say nothing of a Lifebound Dao Artifact.

Lu Qing believed that if he nurtured the gourd's growth onward, it was destined to rank among his strongest hidden aces.

Besides the gourd, the Divine Soul Little Man clutched the Divine Soul Talisman in its other hand, which had also seen major evolution.

This technique, passed down from the Divine Talisman Sect of his original world, had been greatly refined by Lu Qing long ago, reaching an advanced stage.

The intricate runes etched on the Divine Soul Talisman were so elaborate that Primordial Spirit Realm Array Masters would reel from a single look.

Now, the Divine Soul Talisman not only shielded the Forehead Acupoint Space but also boasted the fearsome power to strike foes, silently shattering their Divine Souls.

That said, Lu Qing had yet to deploy it against any adversary, leaving its precise potency a mystery to him.

Having thoroughly examined his newfound strength, Lu Qing turned his gaze back to the moment at hand with satisfaction.

Spotting Little Yan and Little Li staring at him with keen interest, he couldn't suppress a grin.

"What's up, why are you all staring at me that way?"

"Ah Qing, that aura of yours earlier was terrifying, just like a real immortal!" Little Li blurted out first.

Little Yan and the Five Elements bobbed their heads in agreement.

Moments ago, when Lu Qing's eyes fluttered open, they had nearly lost hold of their souls and minds.

"It's nothing so over-the-top; right after the tribulation, I still bear a remnant of heavenly aura that accidentally affected your souls and minds."

The others, hearing this, quickly grasped the reason behind it.

"Brother, with you now in the Eight Tribulations realm, do you intend to keep secluding yourself to push straight for the Nine Tribulations of Primordial Spirit?" Little Yan inquired.

Lu Qing opened his mouth to reply, but a stir in his mind made him pause, his brows knitting faintly.

"Ah Qing, what's the matter?"

Little Li caught the shift in his face and asked without delay.

"I've got a sudden intuition; allow me to run a divination."

Since acquiring the Path of Calculation from Tianji Building and merging it into the Ten Thousand Realms Inference Technique,

Lu Qing had achieved deep mastery in divination arts.

He frequently sensed inklings about upcoming events tied to his fate.

Just then, an abrupt foreboding welled up, warning of some incident linked to him drawing near.

Though the feeling wasn't intense, it left him perplexed.

Right away, Lu Qing formed an Illusion Realm Space, where myriad stars whirled into motion.

Guided by the intuition in his core, Lu Qing pressed on with his divination.

In time, an announcement affixed to a city wall materialized within the Illusion Realm Space.

Once the announcement's words came into sharp focus, Lu Qing pieced it all together.

"So that's their game—using Five Treasure Taoist and Ye Qingzhu's lives to force me out. They really see me as the type to cherish ties that much?"

Lu Qing's eyes grew icy as he stared at the announcement in the Illusion Realm Space.

The announcement proclaimed that Five Treasure Taoist and Ye Qingzhu, traitors who allied with Evil Demons and were cast out by the Human Race, would suffer execution in a year's time, their Divine Souls erased completely as a dire warning.

"These Holy Alliance scum are utterly vile and cowardly, stooping to such tactics!"

Little Li spat out the curse, barely containing himself while glaring at the announcement.

"Brother, what's your next move?"

Little Yan gazed at Lu Qing with concern.

She had also realized the Holy Alliance aimed to bait her brother using his companions, luring him into the open.

With tricks like these, their foes had undoubtedly laid an ambush.

If her brother actually showed up, wouldn't that mean walking right into their snare?

Still, Little Yan knew her brother's temperament; he probably wouldn't back down.

True to form, at Little Yan's words, Lu Qing let out a soft chuckle.

"Of course I'll head there to face them; since they're so eager for me to appear, it'd be a shame if I let them down, right?"
